Send_to must be a string object having addresses separated by ", ".

example :

send_to='xyz1@gmail.com,hhdasn@yahoo.com'

the problem is not to send the email is to change the email of the receiver – Thodoris Ampas Nov 25 '20 at 11:00

The line that performs sending of email is server.sendmail(mail_from, mail_to, mail_message). You are calling it once. You can check it by placing print(mail_to) statement next to it.

You need to call sendmail in loop if you want to send email multiple times.

Now you are creating server and logging in several times. But I think that adding emails to `mail_to` as comma-separated list is a better solution, as Vikas Jain suggets – fdermishin Nov 25 '20 at 10:50
